TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Agreement with Scott County for a Traffic Signal located at CSAH 101 and Shenandoah Drive
Policy/Action Requested:
Authorize a Cooperative Maintenance Agreement between Scott County and the City of Shakopee to operate the traffic signal located at the intersection of CSAH 101 and Shenandoah Drive.
Recommendation:
Approval of the Agreement.
Discussion:

The City of Shakopee's 2023 Capital Improvement Plan contains the CSAH 101 & Shenandoah Drive Traffic Signal project, CIF-23-016 (see attached CIP Sheet). Staff, with the help of a consultant, are currently preparing plans and specifications for a new traffic signal and additional westbound turn lane at the intersection of CSAH 101 and Shenandoah Drive. The intersection is under the full jurisdiction of the county as will be the ownership and  maintenance of the new traffic signal system. However, similar to other county signals in the city, the City of Shakopee has agreed to be responsible for the emergency vehicle pre-emption system, the street lighting, and the electrical power.

 

The recommended Cooperative Maintenance Agreement will codify the traffic signal partnership similar to and consistent with the many other city-county agreements.

Budget Impact:

Initial construction of the traffic signal system and turn lane are budgeted within the CSAH 101 & Shenandoah Drive CIP project. Ongoing signal related expenses will be budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating budget, most notably for monthly power costs (approximately $700 annually).
